Tasting

Tasting note

An elegant and generous wine, marked by aromas of hazelnut and dried fruits. Aging on lees provides great complexity, with a subtly oily texture on the palate. The finish, round and harmonious, leaves an impression of softness and refinement.

Food pairings

Ideal with a bacon and mushroom salad, chicken gnocchi or an Ossou-Iraty.
